Epiphone Firebird Vintage Sunburst

Epiphone Firebird Vintage Sunburst
Serial Number: 25121528034
Weight: 7.64 lbs.

The Epiphone Firebird in Vintage Sunburst brings Gibson's boldest body shape back to life at a genuinely accessible price, faithfully recreating the reverse body and headstock design Gibson introduced in 1963 — the same instrument that pioneered Gibson's first neck-through-body construction. That 9-ply mahogany/walnut neck-through-body carries all the way from headstock to strap button, delivering rich sustain and a warmer, more resonant voice than bolt-on or set-neck Firebird alternatives typically offer. Finished in gloss Vintage Sunburst over a solid mahogany body at 7.64 lbs., it's set apart visually by a 3-ply white pickguard with the classic red Firebird graphic.

The neck-through construction carries Epiphone's SlimTaper C profile (.830" at the 1st fret, .970" at the 12th) with a rolled edge for a broken-in feel right out of the case, topped with a bound laurel fretboard, trapezoid inlays, and a 12" radius across 22 frets and the full 24.75" scale length. A 1.69" GraphTech NuBone nut leads to Grover mini tuners at an 18:1 ratio for precise, stable tuning, while Epiphone LockTone hardware — a Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece that physically lock in place — eliminates the accidental-bump headaches non-locking versions can have.

A matched pair of Epiphone ProBucker FB720 humbuckers, voiced to chase the searing, high-output tone the original '60s Firebirds were known for, are wired to independent volume and tone controls per pickup and a 3-way toggle selector, with era-appropriate wiring and CTS pots for authentic vintage response. Whether you're a player drawn to the Firebird's unmistakable silhouette and reverse-headstock stance, a tone-chaser after that scorching original Firebird output, or a Gibson-curious player who wants neck-through construction at an Epiphone price, this Firebird delivers real character. This Epiphone Firebird Vintage Sunburst includes an Epiphone gigbag. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized Epiphone dealer.
